Don't forget to neutralize what vinegar is remnant on the copper. A rise with tap water can help, but the best thing would be a little baking soda in water in another bucket. This is to stop the acidic reaction of the vinegar on the copper to keep it from eventually being eaten up by the solution. Now on the vinegar solution side, you SHOULD be able to put a coffee filter, or even just old cotton rag, in a funnel and pour it into a container to reuse (non-edible naturally). It won't be as effective as quickly next time, but it would allow you to reuse it once or twice to save more money. You could even take the "once used" vinegar solution and pour it into a bowl with some extra salt to use with a rag for hand polishing something copper, or anything with corrosion really. Again you would still want to be certain you neutralize it afterwards. Great to see ya'll back, we are still prayin' for you on this end! God Bless!

[@vegaspress]

What do you mean baking soda in another bucket so do I just put vinegar salt and baking soda into one bucket solution? I'm new to cleaning copper just wanna make sure I don't mess it all up

[@richardvarley1974]

@@vegaspress vinegar is an acid. Once the copper is clean if you don't neutralize the acid (vinegar) it can continue to eat away at the copper slowly over time. So, you add baking soda (a base) to water in a secondary bucket and rinse it last in that bucket to neutralize the vinegar (an acid) so you don't wind up losing your nice clean copper over time.

[@offhandacoustic]

@@richardvarley1974 Shits going to the scrap yard! Who cares if it gets eaten away. If you are cleaning stuff you want to keep then yeah, but why when you are selling it anyway?

[@richardvarley1974]

@@offhandacoustic because the longer it is eaten away the less copper you have to sell. You can quite literally lose the entire pile of copper before getting it to the yard to sell if you don't stop the acidic reaction. Not to mention at a certain point the reaction goes from "just" etching and eating away the copper to creating verdigris (green often slimy coating that will crystalize over time) that is both toxic, AND will cause a yard to massively downgrade the load of copper because it is a sure sign that it is being eaten away by acidic reaction, and the yard doesn't want to purchase a product at full value that they have to then try to treat to rescue it before it disintegrates. If the point is to clean the copper to get bare bright price, why would you be so lazy as to let it turn green and lose that bare bright price? Why clean it at all if you are going to stop halfway through and lose money anyway?

[@ShaneManTV]

Great to see you back!! The community missed you!! 💙💚❤️

[@cyndig9915]

Glad that y’all are back missed watching y’all .So glad both of you are feeling better

[@MrGWN7]

I have a cement mixer. When I do this I put the wire and vinegar/salt mix in a pail and put it in the cement mixer with a lid on the pail. The agitation cleans it up real nice. :)

[@patricksmith9299]

Another thought? Save the solution for your next batch of burnt copper? And maybe mix the solution before adding in the copper. Make for a more equal dispersing of the chemicals?

[@steelisthemeal]

Never really even thought about this actually working Good stuff

[@ayseashrafi7535]

guys keep vinegar and baking soda mix in bucket use again again dont spend extra money,and i'm very happy your face smile take care eacother u have little boy be strong ...i'm from ottawa and 66 years old women i love u

[@E-BikingAdventures]

Salt. Not baking soda. BTW Im from ottawa too.

[@danohstoolbox]

Baking soda neutralize vinegar

[@marilynward7681]

[@gwyenotter6414]

I am enjoying learning right along with y’all.

[@amandavanheerden7592]

Great to have ypu back. Nice job on the copper.👍👍

[@bradgray123]

I've been doing my copper with just vinegar. I'll try the salt as well. I use my mix over and over so it works out quite cheap.

[@jimbanda]

This should be called 'Happy Couple Does Scrap' . good luck guys.

[@poemsforgod2548]

God Bless you guys in all your trials. Looking good and sounding positive! God never abandons us

[@pennygevedon336]

Think about saving the solution in that bucket covering with a lid to reuse.....just a thought. Good to see you guys back.

[@marcuslarge7626]

[@jeramiepalomino4210]

Awesome video yall

[@jodiyoung5578]

This reminds me of the show "Bill Nye the Science Guy". Chemistry 101. Great job family.

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Fyi for the copper pipe t ketchup cleans very well. The acid in the ketchup reacts to the copper and makes it polished looking. Nice info you all shared. Thank you.

[@thomashylemon9975]

They have tried ketchup in the past

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Ok. I have used it also and worked for me. Thank you.

[@tammypopiel7378]

Vinegar is my go to for many things.....lots of uses for vinegar 😀

[@bethturonie5511]

It works....

[@tracybonilla255]

Tiene una expresion muy linda. Ojala nunca pierda esa carita y mirada de amor. Dios les bendiga. Ojala que yo pudiera tener esa expresión de calma, paz y simpatía.

[@townrecycle9966]

nice job! /cheers

[@Cb7dohcf22b]

Awsomeee wife lady kudos !!! She’s golden awesome video I need to do this for my car battery cables they are coppper and are dirty

[@jamesyoder4327]

great job. was wondering how to clean it . I have bout 8 spools I've been holding onto for bout 10 yrs. bout time to start a 🔥 🔥 fire. lol

[@FJParravicini]

Damn, never seen someone making money off this in this way! That's amazing guys! Might keep it for one of my list videos hahaha

[@demetriosantos2342]

SUPER VIDEO. CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSS.

[@RameshPal-cd4cs]

Lovely idea. Can I clean brass tap used for water line by this way?

[@aminormaximum2446]

Heat up the copper, using a fire with a gate or a grill. Mix vinegar and baking soda, say a 1/2 cup to a quart. Fill a coffee can with the mix. Take the hot copper with metal tongs, and submerge in the solution for three servings. Remove and rinse. That is "bright and shiny".

[@ingridlenz3978]

Oh my gosh,our vinegar jugs cost over $3.80 a jug here in Western Canada… $2.50 for cheapest salt box.

[@scottcarr2871]

One gallon of vinegar, 2 cups of Epsom salts and two ounces of fish soap. Makes a home made Rounndup kills weeds and grass

[@huckstirred7112]

I never gave a fish a bath , but my 4 year old kept wanting to hold and pet the fish and it died

[@TheEcoGuys]

I play tge "yea" drinking game when I watch their videos.

[@huckstirred7112]

I might have just figured out how to wreck house trailers . I am gonna try a demolition , fire departments use them . Very pricy ., not sure how long they last ,": I never used one ". So it will be an experiment ". Put it on my Sthil 175 , " very small chainsaw " . To get the huge amount of waste manageable , I built a grinder from two high pressure oxygen tanks . The grinder works great . haven't gotten the demolition chain yet .

[@dumpsterjerry3577]

👍

[@ShaneManTV]

First!!!!! Yeah!!!

[@housedragon2187]

I wounder if you could pour it over a strainer to catch the vinger to reuse. But that's a great trick. Thanks and God bless you

[@E-BikingAdventures]

It would be easier to just take the copper out of the bucket.

[@adhdoutdoors6919]

Great video once again. vinegar over here isn’t as cheap as that though :(

[@conorharford5117]

you could save the old vinegar and salt mix and use it again

[@steelisthemeal]

Interesting

[@patrickvavages2786]

Like!👍✌

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

Now I can more at the scrap yard

[@dennishinkle6084]

You can reuse the vinegar over again. Bare bright sells for about 2.60 per pound here in Texas give or take. Push your dream.

[@BurnItUpAgain]

Love the video, and so glad that y'all are doing okay! Just to let you know, you can also use some really easy to obtain items for cleaning copper. I have used, oddly enough, Taco Bell Hot Sauce and dilute it with a little bit of water. The more sauce, the better! It works SO WELL!!

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Hello Cassie and Shawn, I have tried this on copper coins and it seems to do okay. But like you said you just don't know how much salt to add. Thanks for sharing.

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Well now I've watched this three times and I still love it 😍.

[@PyroThunder]

Will this remove heavy oxidation?

[@lynfreeman2383]

Try keeping your mixture and see if it still works after a while. You may not need new vinegar each time

[@luigiprovencher8888]

Will this remove paint or just varnish?

[@cyndig9915]

Here in USA take pennies and clean them that way

[@treasureseeker2738]

Great seeing you guys back posting videos again. Missed your lovely smile. Hope you both have a blessed Sunday.

[@haggardfan7949]

Put it in a concrete mixer for 5 min. Would not need but half the amount of vinegar. The copper cleans itself by tumbling

[@MikeDoesStuff101]

I’m going to try 50/50 water and vinegar for my green corroded copper, I heard the solution is reusable too.

[@ettahyde5605]

Thanks for the tip. Think it would work on silver?

[@Freeisbetter86]

hmm not sure about silver will have to look in to it :)

[@bonniejeanbeach7711]

I have white dull oxidation on my copper kitchen decorations how do I get it off?

[@pinoyelectriciansbayarea1608]

Some they also use Coke to clean copper

[@RCRAMPAGE]

Where do you get this I need 4mm copper wire

[@dannosdive8552]

THIRDZEEZE!

[@amatueranatoly6408]

I tried soaking mine in salt and vinegar but my copper just turned green. If you washed that off though it was still stained underneath.

[@loriahumada9362]

Can you cover the bucket and reuse it. Just add more to it every time?

[@chosen1one930]

Just let people know that this also dissolves copper so don't forget about it. We use this for cheap refining of precious metals from ewaste. HCL and hydrogen peroxide does the same thing as well or add baking soda to the solution you use so it won't dissolve to much if forgotten about

[@patricksmith9299]

Perhaps if you dilute with water, it would still work?

[@brianj123458]

I'm new sub I found your channel through (scrap & pallet) will be watching great video and God bless you

[@l.mcallan7440]

Use the salt and vinegar on some chips!😁

[@gypsyrose429]

How do you get the plastic coating off?

[@Freeisbetter86]

we use a wire stripper :)

[@adamogilvie6951]

Could you do this when cleaning a copper condenser coil for a still? I keep hearing all this stuff about citric acid and all this. So confused. Lol!

[@theghostofsw6276]

George, on the "Barley and Hops Brewing" channel, has some good cleaning videos for copper stills. He recommends the "5-5-1" mixture....500ml water, 50ml hydrogen peroxide, and 1 ounce citric acid. Same peroxide you get from the pharmacy, and citric acid powder you use for canning. Rinse well with some regular dish soap and water afterwards. Obviously you should still do a small water run before running alcohol. Channel- "Barley and Hops Brewing" Video- "Cleaning Your Still, Copper, or Stainless"

[@glen58316]

Kinda like panning.

[@lucifchristo]

My question is after you clean them with the salt and vinegar How do you keep them from corroding ? Every time I do this The wires come out beautiful and shiny but within an hour they're turning green Any input from anybody would be greatly appreciated

[@Heisenbrick]

I am thinking the same thing, I’m trying to get a very large collection of copper to cash in at one time. Unfortunately my current collection is all tarnished, I believe that leaving it outside was also a bad idea. I plan to do an experiment keeping the rest indoors under air-conditioning.
